Carbon Capture: Artificial Trees

Artificial trees: what are they? How do they work? And how could they help to prevent climate change in the future? Human Geography - A Changing World - Learning Points. The rate of climate change is increasing because of the increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Scientists are developing artificial trees to try to mimic the natural process of photosynthesis to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. Artificial trees absorb CO₂, which can then be converted into liquid form and stored beneath the seabed. Scientists hope that emerging technologies such as artificial trees will be able to avert or reduce potentially devastating climate change. A Twig Context Film.
